A 90% full 777X is more profitable than a 70% full A380. Also bear in mind the re-engining is only being suggested at the moment, and there is no certainty of it going ahead at all. It will only go ahead if airlines commit.

Yes, it is possible that BA may wish to combine a number of daily flights to a destination to one A380, but that doesn't generally seem to be the direction BA are going in. A few BA routes do suit very high capacity A380, but most routes will suit 777X and A350 level capacity.
